Dokuro was released as a PlayStation Plus game in North America today. What new games did Japan get this month?
The SNES’s success in the console war (it sold like 20 million more systems, that’s a win) meant that many games on the Sega Genesis never got as much positive attention as they should have. Whether they were not well-known or received a poor rating in light of the existence of competing SNES games at the time, some really good games slipped through the cracks.
Comix Zone is criminally underrated. It's definitely on my top 10 list of Genesis games. Landstalker was pretty cool as well along with Beyond Oasis. It felt like Sega's take on LOZ. Made me enjoy the game even more. That and the art style.
While you often hear about games like Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, and Gunstar Heroes, there are plenty of underrated Sega Genesis games that deserve their time in the spotlight.
Comix Zone, Streets of Rage 2 and Golden Axe were some of my favorites on the Genesis
@P_Bomb Golden Axe was so underrated. I regret not playing Strider back in the day
"Top 10 Sega Genesis games that get no love!!"
Proceeds to name 3 games that are included in almost every Genesis collection/compilation.
It says Top three (now). But it is an underwhelming list regardless of quantitative quibbles.
True. The real underrated classics would not have made it onto those collections and I'm sure there are many. That Taz game I rented once comes to mind.
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Despite its somewhat anaemic lineup of backwards-compatible titles (unusual in light of the genre’s strong pedigree on Sony consoles), Vita’s selection of rhythm games is highly impressive in the modern market with genre favourites like DJMax, Hatsune Miku and Taiko no Tatsujin all present and plenty of quirky oddities like Deemo, Love Live & Persona thrown in for good measure. You’re definitely going to need to try your hand at importing to get the most of the genre here, but that shouldn’t be an issue thanks to region-free hardware and easy-to-grasp gameplay."
